    Handling cash means you need to train the turnstile staff and they’d be expected to have a decent level of maths skills. Deal with it, move on , get a life.

    I think most people are missing the point of the OP. I haven't checked the website but I think part of what he is saying is that if, for some strange reason, someone fancied coming today as a one-off, it isn't clear enough on the website that although you can't pay cash at the turnstyle you can go get a ticket from the ticket office.

    I completely agree about it being a waste of cash but that's how it used to happen when cash turnstiles were the norm. They were printed in order and presumably only the spare seats. Then blocks of tickets allocated to different turnstiles, presumably where there was the most space.

    I'm not sure why everyone thinks this is impossible when it was completely commonplace as recent as perhaps the 90's and still happens at away games today when unreserved seating isn't used.

    Why would they be on different rows when the tickets are printed in order? They'd get the 3 closest tickets and with around 8000 spare seats every game and I'd guess at less than 500 walk ups I'm betting the club could use the emptiest blocks to ensure this isn't a problem.

    But surely the current system cuts out the waste.

    Are people actually suggesting that someone is going to travel to VP and then get to the turnstiles and be told that they have to walk to the ticket office and because of that they are going to decide to go home?

    Does this help?

    Bradford City Home Match Ticket Information - 2018/2019

    The main two ways to purchase home match tickets for City's Sky Bet League One fixtures at the Northern Commercials Stadium throughout the 2018/2019 season are:

    • ONLINE - PLEASE CLICK HERE TO VISIT THE CLUB'S OFFICIAL TICKETING WEBSITE
    • In person from the Ticket Office at the Northern Commercials Stadium.
    The Ticket Office number at the Northern Commercials Stadium is: 01274 770012

    We are no longer able to take card bookings over the telephone due to impending PCI legislation which governs how we store card details.

    The Ticket Office Hours of Business are:

    Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday: 9.00am - 5.00pm
    Sunday:
    Closed
    Saturday (non-matchdays): 9:00am - 12noon Saturday (matchdays):
    9.00am - 3.00pm


    https://www.bradfordcityfc.co.uk/tickets/home-tickets/

    It is not difficult to find. No deep Hercule Poirot skills required.

    Perhaps it needs a specific link embedded in each matchday Ticket announcement? Not sure if @Fools Gold@Fools Gold or @wetherbywhaler@wetherbywhaler could make a suggestion to the ticket office/webmaster?

    I agreed with you. I don't think there is a need for a cash turnstile.

    We are attempting to create a problem we don’t have and don’t need.

    It’s baffling
